A gentle sound slipped through her lips, but it was faint, and tiny, almost like a breath. She made no other attempt at moving as that same memory relayed over and over in hr mind, making her want to scream. The nurses and Docters stopped, all watching the machine, watching her heart rate fall and rise as he spoke..

Also listening to the rise and fall of the machine’s beeping, Lemartes ran his free hand through the girl’s crimson hair. “Nikkie, Alura and I are waiting for you, and so is everyone else… Please, come back to us. Never again, Nikkie, never again…” Maybe quoting the girl would help jog her memory and snap her to reality.

Nikkie's eyes fluttered open gently, and fear gripped them almost instantly. The nurses and docters moved quickly to removed all the machines and tubes from her to relax her. She shot up into his arms almost as soon as they were done, her hand wrapped around him.
A nurse gently sighed, and moved him, so he was sitting next to her. "While your here, we might as well tend to your wounds. " Nikkie looked at him, nodding as she held onto his good arm tightly.

A little surprised by her sudden reaction, Lemartes smiled as the girl clutched onto his arm. At least she was doing a little better now… Sitting on the bed beside her, he sighed in relief, nodding to the nurse. “Very well then, thank you.” His only wound was the large hole Nikkie had made in his wrist, and he was starting to question his morality, seeing the make-shift bandage Alura had made drenched to a deep crimson color. Turning back to Nikkie, he smiled and leaned over, kissing her forehead gently. “Never again…”

She smiled gently and nodded. "Never again." She repeated. Her head rested on his shoulder as th enursestitched his wound and wrapped it, smiling at him and nodding. They were free to go. "Jst be careful.." She told him quietly, referring to them both.

Oh hell… Needles… Keeping a smile on Nikkie, Lemartes ignored the flaring pain that came from the supposedly helpful task. Of course, she had given him some anesthetics, but they didn’t really help… After she was done, he hopped off of the bed, and gently scooped up Nikkie with his good arm. Her rear was supported by his forearm, and he tilted back a little so she could lean on him. Kissing her cheek gently, he sighed in relief and smiled. “Shall we go see Alura?”

She smiled as he picked her up, and a tiny squeel errupted from her lps at the mention of Aluras name. She snuggled in to him tightly and sighed...Glad to be leaving the dark room..

Alura stood staring out over the horizon, a blank expression covering ehr beautiful features. Leaning on the balcony's railing she sighed-- Why was everything so complex?
If nikkie's past had been... different-- better, She could live a normal life... God she wanted to get ehr hands on the people who did this to her.
Growling under her breath she shook her head and ran her fingers through her hair before biting ehr lip and shaking her head.
Leaning back she began to think of Lemartes. She loved him so much-- And well, they were due to be wed anytime now... Sighing she wrapped her arms around her waist and closed her eyes.

Finding his future wife out on the balcony, and with a troubled look, he smiled lightly as he approached her. “Alura… Is something wrong, Love? You look distressed…” As his steps took him closer to her, Lemartes wrapped his free arm around her waist before leaning over to kiss gently. They had been through much as of late, but he was thankful that she was still standing beside him, through the thick and thin. Lemartes would rather have no other then her to be his wife…

Alura blinked at Lemartes. "Wrong? No... I just..." Sighing she broke off. "Contemplating the current state of things." resting her head on his shoulder, she smiled softly and placed a gentle kiss on the soft skin on his neck before smiling faintly.

Nikkie smiled as they approached her, and a giggle slipped from her lips as Alura kissed him gently.
Her eyes swept over the balcony as she struggled out of his arms, and ran to the edge where she looked out happily.

As Nikkie removed herself from his arms, Lemartes wrapped his free arm around Alura, completing the embrace. Returning the kiss, but placing it on her cheek, he sighed and smiled lightly. “I think we need a vacation from all this… Just you and me, without a care in the world…” That would be nice at the moment, but he had duties to his people, and would not turn his back to them. “And for what it’s worth, they are slowly making progress on Nikkie’s illness. Slowly, but surely, we will find a way to end her suffering…”

Alura closed her eyes and sighed happily. "Once the war is over... We can Vacation...." She sighed. "And find a paradise..." Giving him a gentle kiss, she opened her eyes and lay her head on his shoulder, taking cmfort in his arms.
Improvement on the research for Nikkie... That, was a relief-- poor child... She'd never really had the chance to lead a 'normal' childhood... At least not yet.

Her thoughts were completely gone from any ealier events, short term memory maybe? Maybe she was just A.D.D....Who knew....Maybe she just didnt care...
Her eyes fell upon the sky, where they stayed as she watched the clouds move, a gentle, but sad look on her face. Yes, she was remembering, but not of the horrors, of before the horror..

With a nod, he returned her kiss, planting it gently on her cheek. A warm smile creased his lips at the thought, and he sighed in content. "Just you and me, far from any care in the world... That really would be paradise, Alura..." It had been a long while since Lemartes could take a breather and just relax. And he doubted Alura had the chance to do so since becoming his bodyguard, too.

"Isnt this nice Nikkie? Look! I see a cloud!" Laughed the voice of a gentle woman with kind eyes. It was her mother. Nikkie was bundles up in a blanket laying next to he rmother on the large hammok, giggling with her.
A tear rolled down her cheek as a tiny smile crept onto her face.
"Lizzie! Nikkie! Come on! Lets go! The picnic is reayd by the lake!" her father yelled, a smile on his face. "Nikkie, I'll race you!" Laughed her mother as they both jumped up. Nikkie tore past her father, her grabbed her and hoisted her up, both laughing as she squeeled happily.

Alura sighed softly and closed her eyes. "Yes.... It would be." Keeping herself lightly pressed against her soon-to-be husband she sighed; paradise was such a luring thought, peace-- and calm. Quite a relaxing thought; Alura lingered on it for a while, keeping a warm smile upon her lips.
After a few moments, she peeled her eyes open and cast a worried glance over at Nikkie. 'Poor child...' She thought, her smile slowly fading to a rather neutrual expression. Biting her lower lip, she closed her eyes; again, and let her mind folly in its thoughts.
resting her head on Lemartes shoulder, she let her 'half-mast' eyes lay wearily on their adopted daughter. They really were a family. |

Lemartes kept his arms wrapped around his lover in a comforting fashion, for it was quite obvious to him that the trials they were, and would endure in the near future, saddened her a bit. His gaze also fell upon Nikkie a few moments later. True, she may not have been the perfect little girl, but perhaps it was the girl’s imperfections that he was drawn to. That, and the obligation he felt to help her. The shifter sighed softly, wondering vaguely what the future held for his family… He vowed that neither of the two females would get hurt, but nothing was ever certain.

((Mmmm.... Shadow, I'm PMing you my plot for Larkin and the Shifters. We can fix it up =D))
Alura closed her eyes and listened contentedly to the lulling beat of Lemartes' heart.
It was rather soothing.
Sighing, she smiled softly and breathed deeply, savouring the non-chaotic moment for all that it was. |

Breaking away from her memory, Nikkie smiled gently and looked back at her new parents. Stepping to them slowly she looked at the floor, as if unsure of how to embrace them. Not one for words, her hair slid over her eyes as she spoke in a soft, raspy, childish tone. "Thank you.."

Alura smiled at Nikkie, and scooped her up in a gentle embrace and leaned against Lemartes, happy with having both her soulmate and child close.
It was truly paradise.
"I love you both." She whispered softly, her bronze-brown eyes gleaming warmly. |

Squealing with pleasure as Alura embraced her, Nikkie clung to her leg..Her head barely reaching the bottom of Alura's shorts. Looking up at her, Nikkies big, warm eyes held a look of content in them. Secretly, she made herself promise to do the best she could to get better.

Alura smiled and gently stroked Nikkies hair before smiling at Lemartes.
she closed her eyes and rested her head on his shoulder, a slight frown playing on her lips.
And, she couldn't help but thinking 'Why does the war even have to come?' |

Smiling down at Nikkie, Lemartes chuckled. “Welcome home, Nikkie…” Keeping an arm around Alura, he sighed in content. Truly, they were a family now. However, his sharp eyes spotted the small frown on his soon to be wife’s lips, and his smiled lightened in return. He could guess at what was on her mind, for it was plaguing him, as well… And, as the leader of his proud and noble race, Lemartes would be at the front of it all, defending his people and loved ones from the dark races.
